You've got to hit all kinds of golf shots, so it will be interesting to see how the course will play differently. I'm assuming it'll probably play a little longer. It won't be as dried out. But it will be fun. I think it'll be definitely a different test. These changes will complement a number of improvements that have taken place through the years.
The design and slopes of the green will be consistent with its current design. The total project time is about 11 weeks. Sprague added that the course was originally scheduled to be closed from June 8 through July 5. Love this. A replacement hole is described as being located between No. Golfers will drive past 17, play No. The temporary hole will be a short par 3 playing to the small practice-putting green originally created for those with a 10th-tee start during the tournament.
The approach needs to come in from the left because there is another stand of palm trees to the front right of the green. I have personally seen golf balls swatted away and even eaten by this devilish tree. The tee shot is fairly simple. The second shot, or lay-up is where it can get a little dicey. Players electing to go for the green in two will face a shot that is all carry to a green surrounded by a bunker. Too much of a miss to the right and the ball will be wet.
Golfers playing this as a three shot hole will have a couple of lay-up choices. There is the option of going left over the trees, water and large bunker which will leave a fairly good angle straight up the middle of the green. Players who go right and stay short of the water will be left with an awkward angle into the green for their third shot. I find that they are much more difficult to play as three shot holes than they are to play as two shot holes — provided that the player has the necessary length.
Each layup shot is very demanding and awkward with trees, strange angles, water and bunkers to maneuver around or over. In my opinion, long hitters have a very distinct advantage on this golf course because they can take the awkwardness and trouble on the lay-up shots completely out of play. The green has three distinct levels, a front right, back right and left section. The left section is lower than the rest of the green and balls can funnel down to a hole location there if you hit the middle of the green with a little draw.
This place has never looked better. Grab your seats. The show is about to begin. With a single entrance and exit, and conditions not in your favour, do you have to be really careful with machinery on there?
We do a lot of roping and staking to try to help to keep people from having the tendency to walk in one direction every time. We have to manage the hole. The tee gets a lot of activity. Again, our team does a phenomenal job of understanding what that hole means and what it means to this facility and trying to maintain it accordingly. Even our landscape team gets involved on the 17th with the flowers around it. It's just a very important hole to us. It takes a long time to get the flowers in and work through that process.
